In celebration of The Melvins new album "Nude With Boots". Here is a great sounding recording of them playing at the 40 Watt last year. Recorded by Sloan Simpson. This guy has a real tight recording setup. And he has done an exceptional job as always. The Melvins have the dual drum setup for this show. The second drummer is from Big Business, their opening band. This is great heavy rockin' drone psychedelic crazyness. Turn this one up, and let the drums shake walls, and rattle your teeth.

Alright, we got serious droned out head music here. Earth. This is a matrix recording that is something to be taken in. A. Miller did a superb job of taping, and assembling this audience/soundboard recording. Can't thank'em enough. This is great music for late night red light toking. This band has been around for awhile, and they have perfected their craft to its utmost. So, on that note get up, to the get down. Cause this rockin with diesel power.

If you haven't gotten a chance to hear this album yet. Be it by an advanced copy. There is only a few more days to go. Beck and Danger Mouse have done an amazing job. This is a great psychedelic pop album. My only minor complaint is that it is to short. I wish it would have been 2 days long. Enjoy this little teaser.

EFF: Action Center

After the Fourth of July holiday, the Senate will vote on the FISA Amendments Act (FAA), a bill that would betray the spirit of 1776 by radically expanding the president’s spying powers and granting immunity to the companies that colluded in his illegal program. Now that the House has passed the FAA, the Senate is the last front left in the battle against immunity, and every vote -- from cloture, to the amendments, to final passage -- counts.

Therefore EFF urges all patriots to celebrate the Fourth of July this year by demanding that their senators uphold the rule of law and stand up for civil liberties, by voting against the FAA and for the amendments to the bill that would eliminate or weaken its telecom immunity provisions.

Keep your calls to your legislators' offices short and polite. Whether or not they agree with you, what is important is that the staffers know you are a constituent, and that you want your legislator to hold lawbreaking telecoms accountable.

I'm a constituent and I urge you to oppose telecom immunity and the FISA Amendments Act. As a constituent, I am very troubled that during this patriotic holiday season, the Senate appears ready to toss civil liberties and the rule of law out the window, and so I urge you oppose telecom immunity with every vote that you have when the FISA bill comes to the Senate floor on Tuesday, July 8th:

Vote "YES" on the Dodd-Feingold amendment, which would strip telecom immunity from the bill entirely.

Vote "YES" on the Bingaman amendment, which would delay implementation of telecom immunity until after Congress has received the Inspectors General report on the president’s warrantless surveillance program.

Vote “NO” on the cloture motion to end debate on the FAA,

And finally, vote "NO" on the FISA Amendments Act, an unconstitutional and dangerous bill that would radically expand the president's spying powers and immunize the companies that helped him break the law.

When you have completed your call, please help us track the progress of our campaign by logging it though the link below your Senator's phone number.
